Volunteers in the Classroom
Utilizing volunteers
The Education Fund places volunteers exclusively in positions requested by public school teachers and staff.
Each year the Education Fund recruits, trains, places and supports thousands of community and business volunteers in a wide range of roles.
Our job is to make the volunteer experience as effective and rewarding as possible for all people involved - student, teacher and volunteer.
We are committed to closing the achievement gap
We serve all schools while funneling a majority of our resources into schools with the most critical needs.
We place volunteers where you say they are needed
Teachers tell us where they need support. Volunteers help you achieve your school's goals.
We assign a staff coordinator to you
Our job is to make sure we know your needs so that volunteers and teachers have a positive experience.
We help you make the most of your volunteers
We help you retain volunteers so you have reliable support year after year. Learn from our 45 years of experience how other teachers have best incorporated volunteers to help students succeed.
